West Brom Still Eyeing Cresswell - Ipswich Town News

West Brom are continuing to keep an eye on Town left-back Aaron Cresswell, according to a report this morning. In October, TWTD reported that the Baggies, Southampton and Fulham were amongst the clubs regularly sending scouts to Portman Road to watch the 23-year-old in action.

According to the Daily Mirror, Albion view Cresswell, who is rated in the £3 million bracket, as someone who could add to their options at left-back with Macedonian international Goran Popov, on loan from Dynamo Kiev, not having impressed.

Cresswell was linked with numerous Premier League clubs in the summer but with none firming up their interest.

Manager Mick McCarthy has said on a number of occasions that he believes the Liverpudlian is "the best left-back in the Championship".

Former Tranmere man Cresswell is contracted to the Blues until June 2015 with his deal including an option for a further season.

Rovers are entitled to 20% of the profit Town would make on the £420,000 they paid for Cresswell if he is sold. A Football League tribunal set a compensation figure of an initial £240,000 plus milestone clauses with only a £100,000 payment on promotion to the Premier League not triggered.
